And as every story has one... here is the epilogue ;) (I guess some of you may wondered why I didn't put it on "complete" ;))
Enjoy!
Epilogue
7 days later
It was Dean's first day out of hospital. He had released himself, after he assured the doctor he would take care of himself. Sam knew his brother wouldn't do, but he'd make sure that he would rest enough. Dean still missed words spoken to him or fell asleep without noticing it. That's why he had taken Bobby's offer to stay at his place for a few days, until Dean was hundred percent again. He looked at his brother sitting beside him, half asleep. Grinning slightly he slapped him on his chest, letting him snap awake. "What?!" Dean blinked confused. "We're here…" Sam simply stated. He felt Dean beside him stretch. "What are we doing here?" Dean asked slightly perturbed. "Don't bitch around… just come on!" Sam simply said, already out of the car, starting towards the ferry, ignoring Dean's annoyed muttering.
…
They should do this more often, Sam contemplated later while driving the Impala. It had been a nice day, just plain enjoyment, and even if Dean would never admit it, he had enjoyed the trip to South Bass Island as well. He turned his head for a moment, watching Dean fast asleep on the passengers seat. A small frown crept over Sam's features as he traced the bruises still outstanding from too pale skin with his eyes. But then he smiled. Dean would be okay. He had seen it today, together with Dean's true smile, the radiant one, that let his eyes sparkle.
His concentration went back to the road. It would take them a couple of hours to arrive at Bobby's. They passed by the last houses leaving the city behind them in the rear-view mirror. With a grin Sam switched on the Impala's radio, keeping it muted to not disturb Dean's slumber and drove on…
THE REAL END
